This error is from the storage driver attempting toi link to stuff in
the node device driver.

which is failing because neither of the node device driver implementations
are turned on.

This is a bug in the storage_backend.c file. This is a generic shared file
and as such, it should not have any  dependancy on the node device driver 
code, since the latter is guarenteed to be available.
